'An exceptional player' - Corberan heaps praise on Huddersfield Town's special midfielder

Lewis O’Brien’s form has improved to new levels this season and the Terriers’ most consistent midfielder has also become their key player.

Speaking in his pre-Bournemouth press conference Huddersfield Town's head coach Carlos Corberan heaped praise on his 23-year-old star who he now believes has no limits.

“He is a brilliant player, there are two things. Firstly this year he has played as number three as a left-back and a wing-back, in his best position in midfield as a number eight, as number eleven, as a ten, and even as a number seven the other day in the change to a 3-4-3 he spent some minutes playing on the right,” Corberan said speaking to Yorkshire Live.

“But it’s not only the fact that Lewis O'Brien can compete at a top-level every single time he plays whatever position he is on the football pitch, it’s how he reacts to how you make him play in different positions. There is what makes him a special player and that is the fact that means I don’t see limits in his career and I don’t see limits in his potential.”

His adaptability has been key this season and Corberan believes it’s what separates him from his competition in the league.

“Some players limit themselves when you move them, O’Brien is one player who will never limit himself because he is motivated to compete in every single space, in every single moment, in every single minute of the season,” said Town’s head coach.

“He does it all with a level of humility that means he is going to be an exceptional player and he is never going to stop growing.”

Town move on with a top of the table clash with Bournemouth on Saturday and are currently sitting third in the Championship.
